It stopped working. I have the same problem described here: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=395327 |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
It hangs with this from /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
DEBUG: Waiting for ready signal from X server :0 |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
It does this on 2 of my systems but succeeds on the other. The next |
| 28 |
lines on the successful system are: |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
DEBUG: Acquired bus name org.freedesktop.DisplayManager |
| 31 |
DEBUG: Registering seat with bus path /org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Seat0 |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
The fix described in the bug is to add dbus to use in /etc/init.d/xdm |
| 34 |
but dbus is already in there. dbus is currently started on all 3 |
| 35 |
systems. Any ideas? |
